Make This Choice

Choose...Choice is equated with a freedom, but this theory is not true for digital medias.  Choice on the internet causes us to stop, change direction, think in the box and narrow down the answers.    So, the choice may not be the real answer, and our answer is not available as one of the choices, so then, our value-sets become changed as we are forced to narrow down our answer.

              By stopping what we are doing to have to make a choice, changes the direction in which we were headed and we loose our place....

Our Oprah

              Oprah Gail Winfrey, born on  January 29, 1954 on the family farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi. to an unwed teenage mother, Vernita Lee, who found a job as a maid in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.    Oprah's dad, Vermont Winfrey, who was stationed as a solider at a local base, and  her parents never married.  
           Oprah was given to her grandmother, Hattie Mae Lee to be raised,  and as her grandmother taught her to read at an early age,  at age three Oprah was reciting poems and Bible verses in local churches.    Even with many hardships from her physical environment, she enjoyed the loving support of her grandmother and the church community, who cherished her as a gifted child.     Oprah never wasted a minute in her young youth as her imaginative mind is always on something that seemed to be boring, and all through her younger years, the farm animals became her only friends, as  she used them for giving them parts in a play, and they were also used them for playing games.

Seperated, A Digital World

The digital medias are stored and located centrally at one place, and we, the people are located differently, and with digital communications, we become dislocated, lose a sense of place, and we also lose our home-field's advantage when we are actually separated from the communications we receive from a digital place.    And, as we do this, we focus differently having a narrow point of view.    We are then taken out of reality as we are always once removed and our attentions go elsewhere leaving us numb to reality....

Digital World Frying Our Brain

Digital information is fed to us in an out of sink manner.     The digital media in use, breaks up from a binary time to real time.    We then become disconnected, and we are off continuity, taking us out of our rhythmic cycles.    And, we become separated from real time, taking us out of the now moment, so we are not living in the now, and we then lose coherence and a touch for things.     With all of this, our attentions are diverted, we are numbed,  disconnected and distracted.
